The Vaulorent is one of the vineyards best known Premiers crus. It sits next to the Grand Cru Les Preuses which it resembles in some of its qualities. It is a refined wine which carries wonderful energy.
The attack is fresh and light; giving an impression of purity. The palate is light, characterized by notes of subtle richness.
A fine, impressive Vaulorent which shows the very high quality of this premier cru.

Very much like a grand cru, this will keep for many years.
